  At a fair in downtown Colorado Springs, CO. the Pikes Peak Watercolor Society helped attendees make wonderful paper hats in 2012.   Children and adults scribbled on their hats and shaped them around hat forms.  The result was genuinely stunning.  This little girl was gorgeous in her sun drenched hat.

Lauryn in canary and blue ...day 14 of the 30 day challenge

6 x 6  oil SOLD

Lauryn is another one of my precious granddaughters who loves all animals.  I can only imagine how they must feel when they are tenderly cupped in her sweet small hands.  She speaks words of love to them and delights at their movements.  This little heart is kind beyond words.  I will bet you know a child like this.

September's Song...rose and Ebony



6" x 6"  oil on canvas board   $60.00

The garden is her melody.  It is her solace, her peace, her joy.  The fragrance and the soft petals of the roses embrace her heart and the prickly thorns remind her that life is not always easy, but always worth the effort.

Drifter...plum and citrus

6" x 6"   oil on canvas board   SOLD


At the rock show, this rockhound was busily chattering to the young and old, helping them examine, touch and understand the beautiful stones in his collection.  He was quite knowledgeable and kind, even giving discounts to those who asked.  I hope he doesn't drift too far away.

These young faces that inspire us by their achievements and call to defend their country.  Whose son is this?  Whose brother, sister, husband or dad is this?  We must keep them in our hearts, pray for them, and appreciate the gift of life, limb and sacrifice they have given.
